*For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company wrote off short-term loan receivables in the amount of $16,179,823, based on the fact that more than six months had passed since the loan due dates and after assessing the recoverability of the amounts. Hanryu Bank Co. Ltd. and FNS Co. Ltd. were excluded from the consolidated subsidiaries as of 2024 due to the sale of all their shares.
*Allowance for credit losses related to short-term loan receivables denominated in foreign currencies was recognized. The bad debt expense presented in the statement of operations was translated using the average exchange rate, while the allowance balance in the balance sheet was translated using the closing exchange rate. The difference between these amounts arises from exchange rate fluctuations and does not represent an actual change in the amount of credit loss or additional provision.


As of December 31, 2023, the balance of short-term loans changed from $127,000 as of December 31, 2022, to $131,080 due to the application of the year-end exchange rate, reflecting an increase in the exchange rate. This change is due to exchange rate fluctuations and is not related to any actual change in the loan amount or additional allowance for credit losses.
